are two elements to a TCP/IP connection string: the server name and the disk/filesystem path. Its format is as follows: • For a Linux server: servername:/filesystem-path/database-file Example on a Linux Classic local mode and the server doesn't have enough access rights. Note Although single quote symbols are the “norm” for delimiting strings in Firebird, double quote sym- bols were used with the database quirky at all. String delimiter symbol Strings in Firebird are delimited by a pair of single quote symbols – 'I am a string' – (ASCII code 39, not 96). If you used earlier versions of Firebird's relative

The format of the alias depends only on how it’s defined in the configuration file, not on the server filesystem
